Mild weather could boost voter turnout on Election Day

From the Hill..

Mild, dry weather expected this week could play a significant role in boosting voter turnout as polling places prepare for longer-than-usual lines amid an historic pandemic.

President Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are fighting over one of the most expansive battlegrounds in modern history, and minor adjustments in turnout in key swing states could make an outsized impact in who ultimately takes the White House.

Research has shown that the weather on Election Day can have a noticeable impact on voter turnout. A 2007 study showed that rain “significantly reduces voter participation by a rate of just less than 1% per inch, while an inch of snowfall decreases turnout by almost .5%” and that rain also had the power to further depress turnout.

I think this is not a problem, even though there is an expectation of a large number of Trump voters to turn out on election day, good weather can also help our side. I suspect many young voters who were not sure about voting before might now show up if the weather is nice wanting to be part of the blue tsunami. Also other Democrats who may be infrequent voters might turn up tomorrow if the sun is shining and not too cold.

Regardless the more people vote, the better the results for Democrats. That has always been the rule and dont see that changing now. I am predicting a massive win for Biden.

2. I think I read it here yesterday...

that Dems are MORE likely to turn out in nice weather. Could be a bit of a boost...
